My understanding from others is that you can enter the consulate with her. The CO may or may not permit you at the actual interview. That’s the latest I’ve heard from early 2018...but policies can change. Hopefully this helps. Good luck.

Hi,

 

My wife has interview in Islamabad and I want to know if I can accompany her at interview. I am USC. 

I've been to Islamabad embassy twice as the petitioner (last time October 2018) both times I was next to my husband during the interview.  The first time (December 2017) we began together but then were split in two rooms but this is rare and I don't see it happen often.

No. She does not need any attestation but have to take the original documents for interview. That includes the Urdu Nikah nama, english translation of the nikah nama (this can be attested) and the original Nadra marriage certificate and her Nadra Birth Certificate.

@United2019 where does she get the document attested from?

I am not sure about Lahore, but I got the English Translation from Karachi and the guy just got it attested himself. Its anyways Translation of Original. Not sure if it really need any attestation. If she is taking Original Nadra Certificate and Urdu Nikah nama with English Translation she should be fine.

I am not sure. I haven't gone through the interview yet. But looking at the requirements from ISB Embassy, English Translation is needed as it has information like Children etc which is not in Nadra Certificate.

 

There should be places in Lahore who will do English Translation of Urdu Nikah Nama. Please note that I uploaded only the Nadra Certificate on CEAC. Rest is for the interview in Islamabad.
